Good point.
Like enforcing password changes.

You could open an enhancement request for that on

Yes, in my opinion that habit is a relict of times, when you could trust
your own network and all devices on it.
In times of bring-your-own-device and using private Smartphones all the

Every client can be infected, and should be treated as such.
I know, security is annoying.
